No this guy is an antisocial little **** and needs to learn how to ******* talk to people. You need person skills in order to survive in life and these kinds of assholes have none. They are annoying awkward little ***** and should just not go out if they don't enjoy it. Stay in your little emo dark room with your books like the pathetic loner you are. They are not good in social situations so they PRETEND they don't want to be in them, that way they don't feel the need to change, they just say hey I just don't like it when in reality they care. Idc what you say everyone wants to be accepted and have friends, these losers can not make friends because like I said they're antisocial.

I never claimed to be an introvert, but I see similarities SOME wit what is defined as an introvert in me, and you call me an asshole and do not even know me further proves your social skills poor. if I where to make a decision on some due to a comment or a sentence I can not, they could write negro and you may think they a racist, but in reality they say black in Spanish (and look at it asshole but im not in tilet to make that choice yet, I do not know you)

"By the looks of it you have worse social skills than me and that's something." Sounds kind of like you were implying you were an introvert. I called introverts assholes because they are antisocial assholes who think they're special unique snowflakes when they're not.

And here are some more made up excuses for people to act like antisocial assholes... they are not asocial, they don't just not thrive off socialization, they can NOT do it so they make excuses for themselves. They are not some special unique ******* snowflake... the number of friends I have has nothing to do with this, it's the fact that they can not function in social situations.

I'm sorry I thought it was pretty ******* obvious the subject of this conversation... it's introverts. You know, the people that this content and this strain of comments have been about? Seriously, how the **** did you not catch that?

********. I'm an introvert, but I'm great at talking to people and can make friends in a sec. This post is still very accurate - I dont like wasting my energy on meaningless contact. I simply prefer silence and my own living style as opposed to always being around people - most of them are too loud and overwhelming for my taste.

My point exactly, only an antisocial asshole would call it "meaningless contact". It isn't meaningless, it's called knowing how to ******* socialize. Not every single ******* conversation needs to have a real meaning, it could just be to pass the time and get to know someone or pass the time. We're not ******* robots calculating why am I going to talk to them? What do they offer ME? That is the antisocial **** i'm talking about. There's nothing wrong with small talk.

This has nothing to do with entertaining me, this has to do with knowing how to talk to other people. Calling it meaningless contact pisses me off because it's not meaningless. It's what humans do like I said, we are not ******* robots.

"Because it's what we do." Heaven forbid he have a mind of his own and decide what he enjoys and, you know, make use of the fact that he is a sentient being. You have no right to dictate how others live lives.

You're forgetting the part where it takes up a lot of energy. Sure, I talk to people - I'm not the kind of person that ignores you because I 'don't feel like talking'. I'm avoiding situations where I have to speak to a lot of people, and I have few but very close real friends. I think you're confusing preferring to be alone with being a dick to people when you're with them anyway. I always was one of the most talkative people in class in school, but I hardly ever met up with them after school, because I would rather spend that time by myself.

It shouldn't take up energy to talk to people... unless which I keep saying, you're an antisocial asshole. Normal people can talk to one another, obviously you are not normal and there is something wrong with you. As long as you can talk to people i'm fine with you actually, so there is no issue between us.

That's some pretty good advice, anon. I think I'll do exactly what you said and stay in my room all day, enjoying wonderful stories of Vikings and magic and things. In fact, let me go tell my friends to do it too, and we can all share our experiences together.

Then I apologize for misjudging you, though I suggest you actually get to know people better. I think you'll find that there really are people who would just like to read a book with some tunes rather than go out clubbing all night.

It is that simple. You need to learn how to do it by practicing. That involves going out. Of course you wont know how to do it if you never leave the ******* house or rarely ever do. You need to get out more.

While I agree that going outside probably is better, let me tell you why social situations, especially new ones, bother me.

First, the main kind of social gathering for people my age is the party. This usually features loud dance music, people I don't like, and around here it always devolves into grinding. It seems to only be fun for people who can just let go of everything and go without inhibitions for a while. It's great that they can do that and have fun in that way, but I can't. I've been to parties and dances, and I can never open up like that. I don't like the music, I don't like many of the people, and as much as I try, I'm incapable of making myself just turn off my mind like that.

Second, the things I like best are found in my house, not outside. Books, video games, Internet, all of it. I love seeing my friends in person and hanging out with them, but I don't want to just go to the park and sit there for an hour.

Third, I go into either shutdown or full retard mode when put in an uncomfortable situation. Hell, it's only in the past few months that I've been able to properly talk to girls, some of whom are now my friends. I also will sometimes just shut down completely, sometimes to the point that I can't speak, no matter how much air I force through my throat. I don't really know why that happens. I don't know why any of it happens, really, but it's a reality I have to put up with.

There's more, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear it and will tell me to man up or something.

So your problem is you need to learn to relax. I don't understand how you don't like grinding... you don't like a girl rubbing her ass all over your dick? lol wtf? Go join a book club, play video games with people, maybe at a tournament? All of these can be social things if you allow them to be, just like the internet. Obviously there is something wrong with you and you need to get help to fix yourself. You are not normal.

Of course I'm not normal, and of course I need help. You think I haven't noticed? Most of these things that make me unable to do extrovert stuff are totally involuntary. I don't get a say in what goes on in my own head, and you think I'm okay with that?

I'm an Introvert. Yes I am antisocial and awkward. I have trouble talking to people. I'm bad at small talk and have trouble thinking of things to say. It does make life a little harder but Its not ruining my life. I have a job and talk to a lot of people. But as the post says, it drains me. It exhausting trying to come out of my shell because along with being introverted I am incredibly shy. I don't agree that everyone wants friends. I have my friends from work and one really close friend and I would honestly be happy with just her as a friend. I do enjoy just staying in and being alone. I'm not emo and don't just sit in the dark. I like to be by myself and read or play video games or something like that. I hate when people try to push me into going out and interacting with other people. It also doesn't help that I really don't like people. So all in all I agree with you on some points but I mostly disagree.

The thing is, I don't mind being an Introvert. I love my alone time. I love being by myself. It makes me happy. I don't like going to places where a lot of people are. And I absolutely hate going anywhere by myself without someone I know ( I think that's more my social anxiety though). So yea,I'm pretty happy the way I am.

No, bad things can come of it as well.
It is rarely a good thing to insult people and force them outside of their comfort zone.
Not to mention, this doesn't say that introverts don't want to have friends or be accepted, in fact it says the opposite, the only problem is that if you go out and meet people, usually you will meet people that want to go out more than stay in, and therefore are not like you, and therefore will most likely end up in a conflict of some sort.
You imply that introverts want to stay inside in the dark collecting knowledge and such, while wanting no contact with the outside world, this is not the case, introverts to want contact, but in limited amounts.

What bad can come from being able to socialize and talk to others? Some people need to be spoken to this way in order to change, politely asking them wont work. If introverts just stayed in they will never meet anyone though so they have to go out.

What bad can come of it?
I don't know?
Lowering their self esteem
Pushing them into situations that they don't like
Causing a nervous disorder to form
Introverts know how to talk to people when they need to, they just don't want to.
Yes, it is as simple as that, they don't want to.
They prefer to stay at home, they prefer to read, if someone comes over, they will talk to them, this post was simply a guide on how best to approach an introvert so they remain comfortable.
It's not as if they all want to stay inside and never talk to anyone, they just don't want to go out and do extremely social things, they don't like parties, they don't like crowds, they don't like being somewhere with lots of people, they prefer small groups, they prefer hanging out rather than going out, etc.

How the **** does socializing lower your self esteem? It'll make you feel better about yourself if anything. You'll see you have a lot more in common than your thought.
They will learn to like it if they do it more often. If not then they are antisocial like I said and there is something wrong with them.
They are not normal and have issues which they need to fix if a nervous disorder arises.
They don't want to be around people so they are loners
We shouldn't have to cater to them... they are not normal and need to learn how to be. No one else's problem but their own.

Ok, I can tell right now that you're the same ******* who does the whole "alchohol is poison" thing, and thumbs up his own comments while posting as an anon. I'm not even going to start a conversation with you, because I already know from last time that you're an ignorant cunt. Good day to you sir.

Come on man, everyone knows what you're doing by now. If you're going to try to start **********, then fave your obnoxious comment and come back to it later, don't comment on 3 posts in a row because you're being way too obvious.

I'm still here, I don't come back later. I want to have conversations with people. Some people actually reply and I have real conversations with them, you're not one of them because you're obsessed with the idea that i'm some kind of troll.

I'm done anon. I've replied to you on 3 different threads and you're clearly acting oblivious to anything I've said outside this one in the hopes that you'll start a ********* on said threads. You know exactly what I mean. **** off.

by the way you rage on the internet and seek attention, even if its negative attention by trolling, suggests you are pretty introverted. possibly not because you wish to be, but because you are such an amazing douche even your parents have trouble loving you. Perhaps they divorced and sometimes you think it might be your fault... it is.
